Lightbulb Scam or not?

Hello,

Like many of you here, I am trying to make money online. I keep building web sites and I do as much as I can in order to get organic traffic from search engines and back links. I spend a lot of time and effort and I've learned that financial success is the result of very hard and persistent work. In other words nothing is done by magic here.

At the same time, I keep seeing huge amount of software solutions and subscription based SEO services that offer something that seems impossible.
Some of them offer a software that will provide you with tons of free traffic with a few clicks.

For example:
homeprofitslive.com/?cp=zr5Hv1yK

Others explain how their system will create hundreds of thousands of social media links, which will boost your search rankings.

For example:
trafficframework.com/final-video/
and
apexpacific.com/xgenseo/

All this means that by paying something from 10 to 100 dollars I can get something that will save thousands of dollars and months of work. Too good to be truth and I simply refuse to believe this.

99% of what I read and see on the videos sounds very suspicions, especially when people tell me that what they offer a revolutionary and unique product developed by someone who was struggling for years and came up with a genius solution, which is available for a limited number of people. They tell you that they could easily sell it for something like 1000 bucks but because they want to be nice and want to help everyone it's only $9.99 and 20 copies left.

What is it? Is is scam? Is it something that works but just exaggerated?

The companies who explain you that they will create thousands of social media links are also suspicious and to me their SEO process even sounds like something illegal.
As far as I understand they create links to your sites based on social media activity simulation. They have hundreds of fake (bot) social media user profiles who just exchange messages, post links and write on each other's walls.

Is this the way it works?

I never tried any of these products, have you? I will really appreciate if anyone shares their experience. I will also appreciate if you recommend trusted, legitimate and efficient solutions that you've personally tried.

Thank you.

SENuke is good, legitimate software. It can help automate a lot of monotonous link building tasks. That said, it should not be the only thing that you are doing. Also, it is fairly expensive ($130/month).

There are a lot of individual tools that do what senuke does (some do it better), but senuke ties all of these into one package.

Some other tools that generally get recommendations/good reviews.:

Article marketing robot
Seo link dominator
Rss submit
Rss bot
Sick submitter


You really should know what you are doing before you try to automate anything with this software.

A lot of people cancel SENuke during the free trial period because they find it difficult to use/figure out. It takes work to figure out, just like anything else.

I would be wary of anyone selling software for $9.99

Edit: as the poster after me said. Stay clear of this stuff. The things you referenced in your post looked like scams.

Run for hills friend.

Invest in software that helps you create good content, but I wouldn't invest in these link schemes.

Waste of cash.

Personally I am very cautious about such sites with pop-ups galore, it just looks 'scammy', but for a detailed insight use 'IM Report Card' : there is nothing that pertains specifically to this company there, but if you pop in a search, or search by organisation you will at least be able to see rated reviews by real people who have actually bought and used such products - this site has saved me a lot of wasted time!

Thank you for these details.

I was also wondering... if I start using some of these automated tools and aggressively promote my micro sites (where I have adsense ads), will I be at risk of having my Adsense account banned due to huge amount of new back links. What can be done in order to make the automated link building process run smoothly?

does anyone try the seo link dominator? I was hoping to buy.
What's that all about the product? Can you give me a little overview?

I use my intuition a lot when scouring the web and end up on offers that sometimes seem too good to be true. You can improve your intuition from experience and believe it or not, I found a software to improve intuition.

My intuition tells me "No" on that one.

Take care,

I used Link Dozer for awhile and I think she has the most powerful system.

Thing is that the spinning work you do may as well be time "creating content"

If it looks too good to be true...it probably is...if everyone is talking about it...judge from what they are saying. Any revolutionary link building profile creating software...is mostly going to spit out garbage that won't last anyways. Unfortunately, there is no easy button. If there was, we'd all be pushing it.

A lot of these claims to generate loads of traffic and great rankings within short amounts of time are ridiculous, and a scam.

They are usually pretty easy to pick and stay well away from them.

But there are some other great products (like the ones Neil mentioned above).

The truth is, hype sells. This is how they make money and even some of the legitimate products are using hype to compete in this market.

Whenever I am confused about a product I seek reviews here at the Warrior Forum from real people who have bought the product.
